3. Abstract
Isostatic graphite is a new type of graphite material developed in the
1960s. It has seen a wide range of applications in photovoltaic,
electrical discharge machining, metallurgy, new nuclear power, and
other fields.
In 2006, the rapid rise of global photovoltaic industry broke the original
balance between supply and demand of isostatic graphite market, which
promoted isostatic graphite production companies to expand capacity
successively to meet the needs of photovoltaic market. China as the
world’s largest producer of photovoltaic products therefore becomes a
hot investment area of isostatic graphite capacity expansion and the
most important product consumer market.
In 2012, the global photovoltaic industry encountered a severe
overcapacity crisis, although the isostatic graphite industry maintained
output growth thanks to newly-added capacity, corporate profitability
declined sharply. In 2013, China introduced a series of stimulus policies
to gradually recover the photovoltaic industry, and then kept the
increase in demand for isostatic graphite. In 2015, the global isostatic
graphite production reached around 100 kilotons.
Isostatic graphite is mainly produced by Japanese, European and
American companies. Among them, Japan-based TOYO TANSO, Tokai,
IBIDEN, Germany-based SGL, and France-based Mersen boast
capacity of over 10 kilotons. And, SGL, Mersen and TOYO TANSO
have production bases in China.

Since 2006, with the dramatic development of photovoltaic industry
and fast-expanding demand for isostatic graphite in China, Mersen,
SGL and other foreign companies have built factories in China, plus
the ever-growing number of isostatic graphite projects invested by
local companies, China’s isostatic graphite capacity has seen
vigorous growth, making the country one of the important isostatic
graphite producing areas in the world.
In 2015, China’s isostatic graphite production reached around 34
kilotons, but there were still about 30% of demand relying on import,
mainly for large-size, fine-structure, high-end isostatic graphite
products. In China, isostatic graphite is primarily used in photovoltaic
industry (more than 60%), and with the nuclear power reboot in
2015, its demand for isostatic graphite increased greatly, with an
estimated application ratio of 8% or so.
Major isostatic graphite production enterprises in China are Baofeng
Five-star Graphite Co., Ltd., Fangda Carbon New Material Co., Ltd.,
and Datong Xincheng New Material Co., Ltd., which posted isostatic
graphite capacity of 10 kilotons, 4 kilotons and 4 kilotons
respectively in 2015. Among them, Datong Xincheng New Material
Co., Ltd. put its isostatic graphite capacity into production in
September 2015. Besides, there are many proposed / under-
construction isostatic graphite projects in China, e.g. Fangda
Carbon’s 20 kt/a isostatic graphite project.
